Global Domination

Saturday, June 18

The weekend was set aside for taking my girlfriend back to Reading. There's a lot of driving up and down to the place in my life at the moment and I don't mind. I'm quite well prepared for a long-distance relationship. All the gigging means that I've learned to communicate reasonably well and drive over long distances at the expense of sleep. These are ideal skills for the long-distance lover.

We got to Reading. We sat around the house and watched my girlfriend's half-birthday present - The Incredibles. I'd nearly seen this on the plane in March when I went to New York. However, I'd been too interested in the book I was reading (purchased for me as a birthday present by my beloved) to watch it. Now, able to devote time to watching the movie, I was glad I'd reserved seeing it for a special occasion. It's a splendid movie. We laughed, we were gripped and the time flew by. Pixar are back up to full strength. I'd been less than impressed with Finding Nemo, but this movie was right up there. I loved the pseudo-Bond soundtrack too.
